Crimes of Fashion Past: Slave?? Bracelets

I was wondering what to even call these contraptions, so I typed “bracelet chain ring” into the Google search bar. A lovey photo came up that describes visually the horrendous crime I was trying to bust. And the Web site called it a “slave bracelet,” so I guess I’ll play along.

This fashion statement was gross and terrible. It looks like a witch who got into heavy metal, stopped showering and started reading Tarot cards to kids in trench coats at the local Gothic bar. I would almost rather wear a chain attaching my nose ring to my ear, if it meant my face wouldn’t accidentally get torn apart in the subway. Rings and bracelets are two different things; believe it or not, that’s why they’re usually separated. These are noisy when shaking hands, get caught on clothing and just look ridiculous. Halloween=Okay. Joke=Acceptable. Trying to be trendy=Leave it in the…what era was this from again??

    hey slave braclets are actually very beautiful and come from before the reniassance period. they're called slave braclets because the ring is "slave" to the braclet. now a days it's more of a gothic jewlery item but when they were first created they were actually very classy and many rich people wore them as symbols of status. also the witches and gypsies wore them as status symbols and used them for spritual purposes as well.
